Dancing And The Wild...

After lying in the blistering heat for about 3 and a half hours straight I summoned up enough energy to get up and have what resembles a shower. (A bucket of water over the head job).
We then gathered up and off we went on the jeep safari and it was so worth summoning up all the energy in the world in in the midst of the days heat.

First off, our guide pointed out an eagle and a crocodile (which were both massive by the way). We then saw some wild boar and some deer.

The best bit was saved til last when the jeep pulled to a halt and our guide pointed out something in the river about 20 feet from where we were sitting and hissed "TIGER! TIGER!"

We looked and sure enough sitting there in the water was a tiger watching every move we made.

 All of a sudden, it jumped out of the water with a mighty roar and ran off into the long grass making us and the guide jump out of our skins.

I can't believe how lucky we are. People go though an entire lifetime without seeing a tiger and there it was 20 ft away from us. The guide told us that 15 days ago he saw a mother with 3 babies so it could be prowling around looking for fresh meat.....I'm glad this one didn't think that we would taste very good.

By the time we got back to our hotel it was dark and we headed off to a traditional Nepali dance where Phil, Christina, Debbie and I got up on the stage and took part.
The guys I must say, were pretty handsome.

The dancing was mainly done with sticks clashing together to the beat of a drum but the rhythm was amazing and after picking up the dance moves we had an awesome time whilst the other tourists watched us.

When Christina and I got back to our room there was no electricity which could only mean one thing. No fan. So after dying for a while in the horrific heat we eventually got to sleep in the starfish position.

Goodnight all,
